Siva on Louisville

I spoke with Franklin junior Peyton Siva, a 6-foot-1 guard with springs for legs, tonight on his trip last weekend to Louisville. The Cardinals are one of four schools Siva is looking at (along with the UW, Arizona and Kansas. Not such a bad list, eh?).

Following Franklin's 24-point win against rival Garfield on Friday night, Siva jumped on a 6 a.m. plane Saturday. He made it to the 'Ville in time to meet up with former Rainier Beach star Terrence Williams for a bite before heading to Freedom Hall, where Louisville beat then sixth-ranked Georgetown in front of a huge crowd.

"It was far out," Siva said. "It was so loud."

He already liked the Cardinals enough to put Louisville in his fave four, and after his trip, he said, "I like it a lot now ... They play just like Franklin. They get out and run. They play hard-nosed defense."

It's a lock on Louisville.. cry now UW fans, and save the tears from coming down when he commits

If Siva wants to go to the NBA Arizona is the best place even with Gaddy there. Kentucky will be a culture shock(imo) and I know I wouldn't go to school in Kentucky for no one but if that's Siva's eventual choice- big up.

Keep thinking positive thoughts - Peyton Siva will go to UW. Either that, or hope that UW starts playing better defense.

If we loose Siva I'm not going to cry about it. We will have Isaiah, Turner, Suggs, Venoy, and maybe Avery Bradley will commit. All 5 of these guys are just as good as Siva if not better.

just as good as Siva? I don't think so. He is far better than all of them. I think he is a Louisville lock.
